Field Description
SSL Acceleration Flows
for Slot
The slot number of the SSL module for which flows
are displayed. Valid slots are 2 (CSS 11501), 2 and 3
(CSS 11503), or 2 to 6 (CSS 11506).
Virtual Virtual address of the ssl-server.
Port Virtual TCP port of the ssl-server.
TCP Proxy Flows Number of TCP connections that are currently being
proxied through the SSL virtual IP address. These
connections could either be in:
• The TCP handshake or teardown phase and,
therefore, not carrying any SSL traffic
• The Established TCP phase and carrying SSL
traffic
Active SSL Flows Current number of TCP Proxy Flows that are
carrying active SSL connections. These flows are the
Established TCP connections in which an SSL
Client Hello message has been received by the CSS.
The SSL flows remain in this active state until the
teardown process is initiated, either by sending or
receiving an SSL Alert message. The Active SSL
Flows number is a subset of the TCP Proxy Flows
column.
SSL Flows in Handshake The current number of Active SSL Flows that are in
the handshake phase of the SSL protocol but are not
yet sending data. This means that an SSL Client
Hello message has been received by the CSS but the
final finished message still has not been sent. The
SSL Flows in Handshake number is a subset of the
Active SSL Flows column.
